Chapter 50: It's Ugly

Beichuan is less than five miles away from Fengzhou City.

The previous Chu troops all went west to east, and Ma Wanting led the people directly to the north.

The carriage quickly drove in front of Beichuan, and after descending the gentle slope, it was difficult to get off the carriage again.

Ma Huanting and Qi Xuanyu got on the soft sedan chair prepared in advance, and were carried slowly down by the sergeant.

The Great River Valley winds from west to east, bending in a semicircle to the north of Fengzhou City. The slopes of the valleys on the east and west sides are more soothing. From the valley to the lowest part of the valley and then to the valley slope on the opposite bank, the Chu army all over the mountains and fields were all bent over the weeds one by one, for fear of missing the opportunity of the 3,000 bounty and the promotion of the first rank.

Ma Huanting and Qi Xuanyu walked slowly, and groups of people stayed to look for herbs.

There was a nice hillside in front of her, and the sun was very good, so Ma Huanting asked people to put her and Qi Xuanyu on that flat ground.

The two soft sedan chairs were slowly put down, Ma Wanting got out of the sedan chair first, feeling that Yangguan was very warm and there was no phoenix, so she said to Qi Xuanyu: "Xuanyu is warm here, you have to come out to bask in the sun." ”

"Good!" Qi Xuanyu opened the sedan chair and got out of the sedan chair with the support of Father-in-law Mu. It's just that Qi Xuanyu's feet haven't stood firm, and he saw a black shadow falling from the sky, and the eagle carried Qi Xuanyu away like a chicken.

Gonggong Mu was startled and hurriedly shouted: "Save King Yu!" The Qi army hula suddenly rushed around Gonggong Mu.

Ma Huanting, who was facing Qi Xuanyu, happened to see the face of the black shadow, which was actually Dongfang Qiyang. Robbed her fiancΓ© in front of her! This Oriental Qiyang is simply too lawless!

Ma Wanting didn't have time to think about it before she shouted at the guards behind her: "Catch up!" Reward for saving the Yu King! Ma Wanting dropped this sentence and chased in the direction of Dongfang Qiyang.

Here, Chu Jun was looking for herbs with his head down, and suddenly heard the eldest princess shouting for a reward of ten thousand dollars for saving King Yu, and immediately looked over. But anyone who had a little kung fu chased after him.....

Dongfang Qiyang grabbed Qi Xuanyu with one hand, crossed the valley floor, climbed the north slope and ran due north.

Ma Huanting took the lead in rushing to the north, but the shadows of Dongfang Qiyang and Qi Xuanyu were gone.

Further north is the territory of the Great Zhou, and Ma Wanting didn't care much about it, and ran straight towards Linzhou Mansion. Dongfang Qiyang naturally knew that she was with a large army, and if he hid, he would definitely go to Linzhou Mansion.

Ma Wanting chased all the way to the gate of Linzhou Mansion, and saw that the city gate was closed and heavily guarded, so she couldn't help but look at the defenders on the city wall and shouted: "Have you ever seen a man in black with a young man wearing a white fox fur cloak?" ”

The two guards at the head of the city of Linzhou Mansion were chatting idly, when they suddenly saw a guy dressed as a woman with a dark face in a big red cloak shouting at them, and couldn't help but reply: "What a fox fur boy, I haven't seen it!" In the case of the vixen, they won't come out until night. ”

Hearing the guards of the Zhou army teasing her like this, Ma Wanting couldn't help but be angry: "Open the city gate, I am the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, and my people have been robbed to Linzhou Mansion!" Come, sir! ”

"Just you? Also a princess? One of the guards laughed and said, "Don't pee and take pictures, I see if you are a boar or a thin black pig!" ”

Ma Huanting didn't expect to suffer such a shameful humiliation, so she released a hidden arrow at the city.

The laughing guard was shot in the head with an arrow, and the man fell.

Seeing that his companion was shot dead, another guard hurriedly called for help, and suddenly a group of defenders at the city gate rushed over.

At this time, many Chu troops had already chased to the gate of the city one after another.

As soon as the defenders at the head of the city of Linzhou Mansion saw that many people in Chu military uniforms rushed to the gate of the city, they immediately sounded the alarm bell, and at the same time, they also lit a beacon fire.

"The Chu army is going to attack the city!" Ren Yonggu, the general manager of the military road of Linzhou Prefecture, received the news as soon as possible.

He had received a letter from the third prince asking him to support Li Xiaochuan before, and after receiving this news, he hurriedly led the five thousand elites mobilized in advance to the south city gate.

Li Xiaochuan, who was pretending to be a merchant of medicinal materials, was depressed at the place designated by the third prince, and saw the Chu army rushing out of the Dachuan Valley one by one and rushing to the Linzhou Mansion, only to follow, and saw a group of people wearing Qi military uniforms also following.

I saw that they were all in a hurry, as if they were chasing some important characters.

No matter how you find Qi Jun, you can find Gonggong Mu and King Yu. Li Xiaochuan and his people followed the Qi army.

In this way, the Chu army, the Qi army, and Li Xiaochuan and others all gathered outside the southern city of Linzhou Mansion.

When Ren Yonggu, the general of the military road of Linzhou Prefecture, ascended to the top of the city, he saw that the gate of the city was full of people, including the Chu army and the Qi army. The medicinal herb merchant pretended to be Li Xiaochuan was also mixed in.

Shouldn't the Chu army and the Qi army fight each other at this time? How do you look like you have the same hatred? Could it be that the secret letter of the third prince is wrong? Not to receive the Chu army, but to resist the Chu-Qi coalition army?

But soon Ren Yonggu dispelled this thought, it was obvious that both the Chu army and the Qi army below were in a messy formation, and they didn't look like they were attacking the city, and they didn't have any heavy weapons in their hands. Knowing this, Ren Yonggu's steps suddenly became much more stable.

The guards guarding the city saw that the soldier Dao was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Ren, there is a black-faced guy who claims to be the princess of Chu State, and he shot one of our brothers. ”

Ren Yonggu tilted his head sideways and looked down, and sure enough, there was a person wearing a big red cloak and a black face in the dark red army uniform of the Chu State looking at the city gate.

Could this really be the legendary eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom?

Ren Yonggu sucked his teeth, but it was really ugly!

"Has your chief arrived? Open the gates! Ma Huanting just shot an arrow to kill the city gate guard who humiliated her, and Zhou Jun sounded the alarm bell and lit the beacon fire, so he must have landed in the city.

"I'm the chief here!" Ren Yonggu shouted below: "Who are you, why did you hurt my sergeant, and led troops to block the door!" What do you think this is the place, you can't go wild! Ren Yonggu said and shouted behind him: "Archers prepare!" ”

Suddenly, the densely packed arrows that shone brightly on the city wall, condescending to the people below.

Ma Wanting didn't expect that Lin Zhoufu's reaction would be so fast, and so many archers would come in such a short time.

It wasn't that she didn't have experience in siege before. It's just that she's not prepared at all at the moment. Besides, the Great Zhou State is strong, and the Chu State has always been defensive against the Great Zhou, and it cannot start a war with the Great Zhou no matter what. For the sake of Qi Xuanyu and the war with the Qi State, there has been a lot of criticism. If she goes to war with Da Zhou because of her, even if her mother and father favor her again, they will not condone her! Besides, she just wanted to rescue Qi Xuanyu, if the guard hadn't been disrespectful, she would definitely not have been provoked.
